Interesting given it was his desire to pursue solo stuff that led to him departing the Mac. Makes you wonder if he’d be more open to a return once this is over.

There are already hints he may return. He seems to want to, and the others except for Stevie Nicks are up for it.

Uh oh - is this going to be really bad for 'Roo? Can't imagine they are flush with cash after a year off, and then having to cancel the week before seems like it would be really bad (I assume most of the stages etc. are up and ready to go already?)...

It shouldn't be a killer blow by any stretch.

Aside from anything else, they're owned by Live Nation, who have deep pockets and have just had a nearly full slate of sold out UK festivals.

But you'd think that while festivals have been unable to get insurance against the pandemic or new restrictions, they should have still been able to get "regular" cancellation insurance which would usually cover inclement weather.

I remember watching The Divine Comedy headline Cambridge Folk Festival in 2004 as a spritely young 13 year old. Always held a special place for me as that was my first "real" festival in most regards.

Would definitely try and show up to an early slot and imagine my parents would meet me there; that'd be quite a nice moment.

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
